I Can't Look Away From This Car Crash.

i can't look away from this car crash.

the inconsistencies with the story we read for 400+ chapters, the hopelessness around Izuku's entire character, deeming bkdk's dynamic entirely useless after all the effort to set them up as the 'wonder duo', 'the ultimate rivals' -- and then? What is this? was it all to waste?

where is Izuku defending his dream? where is his ambition to become the #1 hero? if what he wants to do now is teach, you have to show me that!! you should've shown me that sooner! Show me an Izuku who is admired by his teachers (AM, Aizawa, GT...) not because they're heroes, but because he admires how they teach and now he longs to become a mentor as well. Then, maybe, this whole shift in his perspective would make more sense. But the thing is:

Izuku loved his mentors because they were heroes. Not because they were teachers.

(teaching is the noblest profession do not come for me -- all I'm saying is: this is not consistent with his character!)

If he loves being a teacher now, I'm not seeing that, either! I'm not seeing a deep desire to help kids (like Tenko) to make better decisions or have better opportunities.

All I see is a depressed twenty-something boy with dead-eyes and office-shoes. If I wanted to see that, I'd read literally anything else!

Where is Izuku? Where did his character go? what happened to his personality? Where is my shōnen manga MC? the kid who cleaned a beach with his bare hands and no quick, fueled by the ambition to become a hero? if that drive was there before the quick, it surely should be there long after the embers burned out...

it pains me, because it feels as though everything else that happened in this story was for nothing. it collapses on itself and becomes pointless. If the message was that once you grow up you should give up on your dreams--well, then call me Katsuki 'cause I don't even know what to say to that! What kind of shit message is that?

If the message is that you should do the best with your circumstances, Izuku is still not doing that! He could be a hero again now. He has the suit, he had an opening, an offer, even. But he still didn't want it. He's settling. It's mediocre. I hate it. I hate this for him. And I hate it if this is what he's become.

Also, I was not about to be queerbaited by a shōnen manga. I've been around the block and I knew what to expect. But maybe even so I was too naïve, because what they did to bkdk's relationship goes beyond the ship, it fundamentally kills their bond.

How am I supposed to interpret Katsuki not only working for nearly a decade in order to get Izuku his suit, then waiting for Izuku to be a hero again and then WAITING AGAIN to invite Izuku to join his agency, rejecting all other prospects because it was always Izuku, always Deku, the one he wanted by his side as a partner -- and I'm supposed to be okay with Izuku never acknowledging this? Rejecting Katsuki's proposal without a thought? That is not Izuku. And it's a disservice to the friendship they spent 400+ chapters rebuilding, the rivalry I was shown from day one.

There were so many better ways to address their dynamic, even if there was a shift in it due to Izuku becoming a teacher or whatever. If Katsuki was to be rejected and disappointed in the end, you might as well have left him dead, for there was no purpose to his character after that without their rivalry. (by this I mean, you set up their dynamic to be a duality. One can't exist without the other. If you are going to change your mind, tell the audience! Show the audience! there was no buildup for this. is sloppy. is mediocre again.

anyways i obviously care about this. I wanna look away but i can't. I can't. I've spent years of my life loving these characters, learning from them, following their story. I thought they'd have a better send-off. I thought their creator understood the characters (he gave us every sign that he did).

I thought the ending would be consistent and good, like most of the story was, and it hurts to be proven wrong, especially when it's not only bad, but painfully, regrettably mediocre, which is the worst fate a beloved piece of media can get.

COME ON, NOT AGAIN!

Please, stop! No more!… you know what? I'm going to pass the canon through the armpits of a donkey because if not I'll end up writing a Bakudekuocha fanfic and although it's seriously something I'm thinking about I don't want to have to do it because I know I'll end up taking Ochako out of the equation, please we're talking about the girl who called Izuku a 'Plain-looking boy'

and Himiko the 'Cutest girl in the whole world' (⁠┛⁠ಸ⁠_⁠ಸ⁠)⁠┛⁠彡⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

I don't see anything 'Plain' about Izu-kun's appearance (⁠ʃ⁠ƪ⁠＾⁠3⁠＾⁠）

Stop talking about who the canon couple is, I'm not interested, for me the ending has already happened and although it wasn't very good, let's say I'm staying with Izuku holding Katsuki's hand and both walking together hand in hand towards the sunset

♡⁠(⁠>⁠ ⁠ਊ⁠ ⁠<⁠)⁠♡ that was the real ending! the rest is just to shut up the mouths and get rid of the bkdk haters and Izuocha-fans, that's all my opinion, KatsudonCat out, PEACE! (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

Damn! I already wanted to write that fanfic… should I? hehe (⁠^⁠～⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ

tired of being bombarded by izuochas on the internet again ochako and himiko the prettiest girl should have been a couple nothing about midoriya izuku is simple he is the most handsome boy in the entire universe... after katsuki of course horikoshi should have stopped publishing Bnha after the terrible ending in 430 should I dedicate myself to writing BkDk/Ochk?... maybe I'll try it someday

If I don't get my long-awaited BKDK ending, I at least need my much-desired Dad For One ending to be real! Horikoshi-sensei PLEASE!

Or at least that this becomes reality...

I NEED them to at least hold hands before this is all over!

Primera publicación.

En mi humilde opinión Gosho está dando patadas de ahogado, seamos honestos el Shinran es un barco que se hundió hace años y es que en realidad ha pasado mucho tiempo desde fue una pareja viable, esos dos no se conocen realmente a pesar de ser amigos de infancia, Shinichi cree todavía que ella lo necesita para protegerla, Ran es una chica muy fuerte y valiente que sabe kárate, ella es muy capaz de protegerse a sí misma y a sus seres queridos pero en el momento en que piensa en Shinichi se vuele sumisa y llorona; por otro lado está Shinichi que ni siquiera confía en ella lo suficiente como para decirle quien es realmente, si verdaderamente confiara en ella le dejaría saber la verdad pero no lo hace, una llamada de atención de Haibara es suficiente para deshacerse de su razonamiento y volver a caer en su conducta de autosacrificio engañandose él mismo sobre que Ran lo necesita y que no puede valerse por si misma, el Shinran es una pareja toxica que debió haber desaparecido hace años y el Shinshi o Coai es mucho peor, Haibara siempre logra manipularlo y aunque también es una chica con carácter y personalidad fuerte y luchadora al encontrarse con la Organización Negra se vuelve completamente una chica miedosa e incapaz de pensar o siquiera moverse que necesita ser salvada literalmente y aunque Gosho deje pistas sobre si a ella le él gusta o solo le agrada sabemos que esos dos juntos nunca pasará.

Lo que Shinichi necesita es a alguien que sepa su secreto y que sienta como un igual no alguien que necesite proteger sino alguien capaz de ayudarlo en su lucha, alguien en quien confíe no solo su secreto si no su vida, alguien que sepa por lo que está pasando y que lo comprenda, sabemos que Shinichi está atrapado como Conan y que siendo un niño no puede ser el mismo, el no puede ser Shinichi frente a Ran y su padre, y no puede ser él mismo tampoco con el tantei-dan en la escuela, está atrapado siendo alguien que no es y eso debe ser agotador, y es ahí donde entra Kaito sea Kid o no, el sabe lo que es ser una persona que no eres, tener que fingir para que nadie más salga herido, y aunque Kaito puede dejar de ser Kid cuando quiera y ser solo Kaito aún sabe lo duro que es tener que fingir y lo comprende.

Entonces sí, es todo, Gosho solo está siendo terco al aferrarse a su pareja principal durante años cegandose a sí mismo ante el hecho de que prácticamente hizo Almas Gemelas a los dos protagonistas masculinos de sus dos creaciones Magic Kaito y Detective Conan desde hace decadas!

For me, those eyes are the same.

Come on, if Izuku isn't Yoichi's nephew, I'll eat expired yogurt! 🥛🥄 And I'm lactose intolerant! 🤢

Hoy hace 1 años que llegué a Tumblr. 🥳

I remember signing up for Tumblr just to look for amazing pictures and drawings, I didn't think I would end up getting addicted to all the content found here. It wasn't until recently that I started throwing my ideas around as well and finding other people with the same interests as me, Tumblr is a great site and I hope to continue for many more years!ʕ⁠´⁠•⁠ ⁠ᴥ⁠•̥⁠`⁠ʔ Happy first anniversary to me! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)
